“Yeah, I wasn't born this way. I was trained this way,” I took a step towards him, but he took a step back.

“Pardon me, my king,” he looked as ashen as a ghost as his eyes darted to the door and back at the king. “I will take my leave!”

Before I can say a word, he has already reached the doors of the throne room.

“Good riddance,” I strode to my chair which is next to my father's throne and popped down on it.

“Star!” Father was mad.

He looked like he was only ready to combust at any moment.

“What's it, father?” I frowned at him, “what did I do wrong? I only came to chat with my soon-to-be husband, not knowing he's just a chicken, like the others.”

Father huffed in anger before he walked towards the door.

“Dearest father, where are you going to?” I called out to him, but he didn't answer me. He stormed out of the throne room and banged the door behind him.

I sighed, relaxing on my chair. 

Fathers can be so demanding.

I don't understand why he wants to get me married off as soon as he can. It's not as if I'm doing anything wrong by living here.

Well, I will continue chasing the suitors away. 

***********

Getting dressed to leave didn't take me more than an hour. 

“My princess!” My maid ran after me.

“What's it?” I narrowed my eyes at her,

“what do you want?”

I snapped, not ready to converse with her. 

“The prince of the South is in the throne room. Your father's requested not to—”

“And who said I'm going to the throne room?” I scowled at her.

“But—”

“I'm not in the mood to exchange words with you,” I sling the small hunting bag I always take with me and head straight to the exit of the palace.

She didn't attempt to chase me when she noticed that I wasn't going to the throne room, which is for the best. I'm just not in the mood to waste any time on her. 

The few guards I met on the way, didn't try to stop me. Instead, they made certain they were standing a few

distances from, me to avoid getting the brunt of my wrath. They seem to have heard of what I did to those guards the day before. 

“Baby sister."

My eldest brother and his entourage of guards stepped in, the moment I tried to leave.

“What do you want?” I narrowed my eyes at him.

I took a ready stance.

Should in case he repeat his actions of days ago, I will be ready to take him head-on.

“You don't have to act so hostile. We are siblings, after all," he said with a smile that made me itch to punch him in his face.

“If you don't have anything productive to say, you better get out of my way,” I tried to walk past him, but he stopped me, with a hand on my right hand.

“What do you want?” I slapped his hand off my arm, glaring darkly af him. 

“Don't you think you need to start acting like a princess? You are getting married to the prince of the South, and you are—”

“You can get married to him since you are softer than I am,” I pushed him to the side, and walked out of the palace, with my brother calling after me.

None of the guards patrolling the ground, tried to stop me as they knew how it would end up.

With them on the ground, of course.

*****

“Your horse is ready," The stable boy brought my favourite starlight to me.

He's the most beautiful horse in the stable, with his unusually blue colour.

“You are a darling," I touch Starlight (I named him after me).

He neighed at my touch as he nuzzled on my hand.

“Do you miss me that much?” I brought out the apple I reserved for him and gave it to him.

The happy crunching sound he made as he ate the apple, caused me to smile.

“My princess, are you going hunting, tonight?” The stable boy asked as he brushed the other horses.

“Yes," I touch Starlight's back, feeling the warmth from it. 

“The wise one predicted a dark storm,” the stable boy said, with his face masked in a frown.

“The wise one?” I scoffed at him, “there is nothing like a storm. Besides, today is the best night for a hunt.”

Just the mere thoughts of the hunt sent a thrill down my spine. I can feel the blood as it courses through my body in expectancy.

“You need to be careful, my princess. The predictions of the wise one always come to pass.”

“Don't worry, I won't be there for long," I smiled to reassure him. 

“Okay," he slowly nodded. 

The smile on his face, made me want to pet him on the hair, but I restricted him from doing so.

Smiling with him was more than I have done with others. Patting him on the hair will be like a slap to my sharp personality.

“I will see you when I return.” With one swift, practiced motion, I climbed the horse and got comfortable.

Starlight neighed.

“Safe journey, my princess. I will be patiently waiting for your return.”

“Don't worry, I will get something for you, like Always.”

“I will be patiently waiting." He gently patted Starlight on the butt, “be a good boy, and bring our Princess safe.”

“Don't worry, he has always been a good boy. He will keep me safe," I winked at him before I lightly kicked Starlight on the side, “let's go, boy. It's time for us to make a show in the forest.” I guided him out of the stables and headed out of the place.

The guards opened the gates without further Ado. None of them tried to stop me, and neither did any ask where I was heading.

They dutifully made way for me to exit.

“Have a nice night. Don't forget to send my regards to my father, should he ask of me," I blew kisses at them before I raced out of the gates, and headed towards the forest.

The great forest lies at the end of the village, and it's my favourite spot, although only a few people are brave enough to venture into the forest.

There are numerous tales about the forest, but none of them was enough to stop me from venturing there.

Not only will the guards not attempt to look for me there, but there are plenty of animals there, unlike the other forests.

    For an hour or so, things moved in the right fashion. Hunting isn't difficult for me. I only had to use my arrow, once, and it hits the mark.However, the animals I caught were small ones. I needed to catch the bigger ones, so I could flaunt them in front of my stupid brothers, whose faces would have nothing but jealousy on them.“Come on, boy,” I pet Starlight. "Let's go deeper. The predators have gone into hiding. I think we need to seek them out.” Starlight neighed, and off we went. He was faster, and eager, just like I am.*****The deeper we went into the forest, the darker it became, until I was unable to see anything in front of me.“What's going on?” I turned around. Sure enough, in the distance, the sky was bright. However, around here, it was total darkness.“Let's get out of here, Starlight,” I tried to steer the horse towards the place the light was coming from.But he neighed, rose high in the air, and threw me down from his back.I can hear his hooves as he galloped ou

    I stood there for a long time and watched, but no one came out. The entire place was still silent. Except for the dull light coming from somewhere by the right, there was no sound.“Hello?” I called out once more. And when I didn't get a reply, I decided to enter. It's not a crime to enter into a house where there are no occupants to stop me from doing that.Who knows?They may have all gone to sleep.I entered the house and closed the door behind me. The door made a protesting sound as it closed.“Now, it's time to check out the rooms," I murmured as I walked out of the foyer, only to discover the light was coming from the stairs. “Could it be coming from the room I saw the light in?” I wondered aloud, hastening towards the light.I didn't waste any time checking my environment because of how dark the house was.All I wanted was to go up there and see what the source of the light was. Who knows, the king or owner of this strange palace in the forest might be up there reading a b

    I shakily glanced around the place. My heart was beating miles a minute, and it felt like the organ was about to leap out of my chest. The window opened once more, and banged, just at the same time the thunder rumbled.“Fucking hell!” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I tightly closed my eyes and placed both hands on my ears. The wind picked up, and it seemed like the lightning and thunder were having a contest on who knew how to rumble faster. The golden engravings on the coffin seemed to shine brighter.“What's going on?”I tried to rise from the floor, but I found out I was unable to move. I couldn't even lift a leg.“No, this isn't happening," I I tried once more; however, my attention was called to the black box when I heard an unusual sound.Boom.It was like the sound of the hunting gun my brother bought three days ago. I shrieked some more as the flapping of the window, and the rumbling of thunder accompanied the strange sound that came from the box.The light flickered

    “Don't come any closer?” He tilted his head to the side as if he wanted to make sense of the word I spoke.“A human,” he tsked. “What a pathetic creature,” he scoffed, walking closer to me.“Don't come any closer!” I frantically glanced around the place as I tried to seek a way of escape.However, I found none.I was rooted to the floor, with my butt glued to it. “You are just an unfortunate poor thing," he smirked, taking a step towards me. As he closed the distance between us, the smoke left his body. “Fuck!”My eyes widened as I fully saw his body. The creature was naked! Like full-butt naked!“Why? You look like you haven't seen a man naked, before.” He walked until he came to where I was sitting, glued to the floor.“Don't touch me!” I tried to fight him as he latched his hand to my jaw, but he tightly held me, making it seem effortless.“Pathetic, but healthy," he said before he brought his face closer to mine.“What are you doing? Don't touch me!” I tried to fight him, but it

    I kept on pulling on the ropes binding me to the bed. It was hopeless, I know. However, I wasn't about to give up. “Who's out there? Help me!” I called out, yanking on the rope.I don't know how long I called out or how long I tugged on the rope before the door opened.“Let me go!” I yelled out immediately the door opened. I was expecting to see the creature who tied me to the bed. But instead, I saw a human — a woman.She had her head bowed as she came in.“Help me, please!” I frantically begged her.“I'm here to help you with your bath, my lady," she bowed before she started approaching the bed I was lying on.“Were you also caught? Please, release me. I will get us out of here. All you need to do is get my bow for me.” I pleaded, hoping she would at least look at me. “I'm afraid, I can't be of help to you, miss. I'm only here to help you have your bath as the master requested.” She bowed once more before she proceeded to untie my legs from the bedpost.“Master? Are you serving tha

    I slowly opened my eyes. “Good to see you awake." The same woman I pushed in my bid to escape from this cursed place, said when I opened my eyes.“What am I doing here?” I sat up on the same bed.Like the last time I woke up, I was naked. The only accessories I was putting on, were the chains on my legs. “Are you asking me that?” She scoffed. “Where is he? I—”“Are you thinking of escaping from here?” She narrowed her eyes to slits, “it seems you haven't learned your lessons.” I frowned at her words, “why don't you want to leave? You are not chained to the bed. You can escape on your own if you so wish for it. Why are you still here?" She stared at me for a moment before she started to unlock the chains I was bound with. “You need to have your bath. Master said you stink.” “Why don't we escape —”“It seems you haven't learned your lessons. The master is only being lenient with you. He will do worse than he did today.” Immediately she released my legs from the chains that were h

    She locked my legs the moment I finished eating. She had me focus on her, not knowing she intended to lock me back.“What are you doing!” I tried to fight against her hold but found out I couldn't. My body felt weaker than it was before I ate the food.“What did you do to me?” I fell on the bed. “Sleep, you will need it.” She carried the tray from the bed, and smiled, “The master will be back soon.” “What—”I tried to fight the hold of whatever it was she put in my food, but found out I wasn't able to.My eyes closed by themselves, and before long, I was soundly sleeping.**********I woke up to an unfamiliar sound. I slowly opened my eyes. “Who's there?” I tried to rise from the bed, but couldn't. My body feels extremely heavy. “You are finally awake.” The creature walked towards me. He was now putting on an all-black. “What are you doing here? Let me go!” I managed to sit up on the bed.“You want to leave? There is only one way out of here.” He held my jaw in his hand and forc

    Pathetic.He said before his teeth sank into my neck. This time, I didn't fight it. All I did was fight the pain that threatened to take over. He suddenly stopped. “Pathetic.” He said the word I've got used to associating him with before he threw me to the floor.“If I'm pathetic, you will let me go.” I narrow my eyes at him, “when father learns of this, he will surely come for me. And when he does, you will be crushed to dust.” I sat on the floor with my eyes narrowed squarely at him. He laughed at my words, “you are nothing but a pathetic human.” He took a squat in front of me.I tried to get away from him as far as I can, but it was impossible. The chains on my legs kept dragging me back.He latched his hand to my throat. “Your father is just a pathetic human. He's nothing but dust under my feet.” He smirked, showing his fangs.“Let me go, you beast!” I spat on his face. His eyes changed colours immediately. The red orbs became so blood-red, it felt like blood was dripping down

    I knelt between his open legs and took him with my hands before I swiped my tongue on the tip.He gasped and would have almost buckled from the bed had it not been for my position. His hips thrust forward as he groaned. I looked up to capture the moment and the expression he had on his face. His groans, and the low hum he made, spurred me faster.I found myself smiling, sitting between his legs with my heart beating fast and loud, so loud he probably could hear it too.I grabbed his thighs which were still shaking as I tried to find an anchor in a flood of lust.The way his body tensed up made me feel so good.Who knew, the bold fearless Rain could groan and hum so low, that all I wanted was to sit between his legs forever and suck him off. With those occasional thrusts upwards, which caught me surprised and made me moan too.I couldn't resist looking up to see how his face looked in all the bliss of lust, and it gave me the confidence to believe, I was good at this.He leaned toward

    “I guess I'll have to take over.” He flipped us unexpectedly and had me under him. “I must please you, and not the other way around.” I bit my lower lip as I watched him. He lowered his mouth to mine, and I opened up thinking he was about to kiss me, but he proved me wrong when he changed course to my neck.He lightly nibbled on my neck before he broke the skin. My blood sipped from the wound on my neck and gushed into his mouth. He sucked on my neck. I moaned at the sensation. Fuck. I felt electrified at the same time as I felt cold.“Moon,” I moaned as when felt his hard, erect cock poking on my leg.I reached out and wrapped my hand around the back of his head as I held him closer to my neck.He trailed his lips and tongue up my jaw until he kissed me again. His kisses were far more eager than before, but not as hurried and fast-paced as I wanted.I let go of my hold on his nape and trailed my hand down his exposed chest. I pressed my hand down on his chest as I pushed him d

    Things went well after that. Moon reunited with his family.His mother had three kids after him, and they were lovely to their elder brother. Though the girls have never met him before, they treat him like family. Things have been good for us. Moon and I are expecting a baby. Well, I discovered I was pregnant a week ago. Now, I have a crazy soon-to-be father who dotes on me like I'm a doll and an equally crazy Jol who will be the best uncle of the century. The princess never ceases to fight over who gets to name the baby first. “Can I take my wife? I have something to speak to her about.” Moon wrapped his hands around me. The princesses I was having a walk with, giggled. “You can have her. Let's go!” The eldest raced down the hall and the others followed her, giggling as they abandoned me. “Let's go, wife,” Moon whispered into my ears before he carried me up. “Let me go! I can walk, you know?” I tried to get him to put me down, but it was futile. Moon carried me into our ro

  • The Vampire's Pleasure Slave   Home at last

    There was no sign of anyone in the streets. And when I nosily asked, I was told that it was because of the yearly mourning. Every year the entire Kingdom comes together to moan the death of their first prince who would have been the heir to the throne. Moon didn't say a word as he continued following the man. He tightly held my hand in his as if he were afraid of letting go. Jol took the rear. He occasionally glanced around, vigilantly making sure there wasn't any danger lurking around us. We were practically strangers in a mysterious kingdom. We are yet to know where we were, and the people with us. Keeping our guard down will be the worst mistake, ever.We reached the castle, which was at the farthest part of the kingdom. The castle seemed a bit secluded from the entire world. The large trees around made it seem as if the castle was in the middle of a forest, and not a village. “This was where I was taken,” Moon murmured as he pointed towards the clusters of trees on the lef

    We stood in front of the large gates. Moon glanced at me, and I nodded. He took a deep, steady breath before he knocked on the gates.It took us half a day to locate this Kingdom. The mist beneath the hills made it a bit difficult for us to find the way. However, Moon was able to get it. None of us can tell how he knew the shortcut to the Kingdom, but we all believed it was fate. Moon knocked on the gates once more and stood back. “Are you certain there are people in there?” Jol frowned. “Maybe, this is a ghost town?” “Are you afraid of ghosts?” I scoffed at the stupid vampire.“I'm a vampire. Of course, I'm afraid of ghosts. Who won't be?” Jol glanced around the place. “My captors back then scared me with tales of ghosts. They made me hate the dark, not knowing I was part of the dark.” Jol sighed. "Back then, I thought I was a human, and those men were what I tagged 'monsters.” He chuckled. “Who would have thought I was the monster among us?” He folded his arms and glanced up.

    Moon decided to check out the kingdom I told him about. I doubt I've ever seen him as happy as he was when I told him about the kingdom the villagers spoke of.“That's my Kingdom.” He looked so certain that it made me roll my eyes at him. “We will leave tomorrow morning.” I leaned on the trunk of the tree. “It has been a long night, I need to rest my bones.” I yawned.“I apologize for not getting to you faster than I would have.” Moon looked apologetic. “Before I realized you were missing, it was too late.”“You don't have to apologize. I know you were having a brawl with Jol like you always do.” I rolled my eyes.“A brawl? It was a full-blown fight! And before you ask, he was the one who started the arguments. Moon only knows how to fight and not how to win an argument. That was why he beat me up!” Jol fumed. I chuckled. “I know.” Though Jol ordinarily tries to egg Moon on, I was aware that Moon was the cause of half of the fights they had on their way. “It was what made this tri

    I slowly opened my eyes. It hasn't been that long since I was attacked. And I knew that based on the position of the moon in the sky. Moon!I sat up. My back hurts, and it seemed a headache was on its way.I glanced around the place, only to discover that I was in a sort of Hut.It was the type that was built in forests by bandits. Though we have only come across this type of hut once since we left the safe house behind, there was no mistaking it. I tried to rise from the ground, only to discover that my hands had been tied. Hmm.These stupid bandits don't know who their mistress is. I shuffled to the side of the hunt. Though it was a bit dark in here, I was able to make out some things in the dark. And that included getting to know where the strong ropes binding the hut were.I turned my back to the hut and used the rope to lose the ones binding me. The ropes holding my hands captive were strong, but not strong enough to cut my hands. It took me a long time to lose the knot.

  • The Vampire's Pleasure Slave   We are leaving

    It was a heart-wrenching sight, to see the old queen shed tears. Her face was puffy and her eyes red. She looked so sad that I was tempted to ask Moon if we could stay back. The old king stood next to her. He robbed soothing circles on her back as he tried to console his grieving wife. “You don't have to leave, Nephew. If there is anything you want that isn't here, I will have the best of my soldiers get it for you. For as long as I live, we will treat you like the family you are.” Prince Dark, who brought us to the palace, tried to talk us out of leaving. But I know it was futile.Moon had made up his mind about it. There will be no changing it. “Should we not find what we seek, we will surely return?” Moon forced a smile. “But for now, I wish to go out there to seek my mother. May the gods protect us all. Gods willing, I will be back.” The prince nodded. He walked over to me and took my hands in his. “Take care of my nephew. Should there be a cause for an emergency, we are alw

    Moon froze at the mention of the name. He fully turned towards the man. “How did you know that name?” He growled in a tone I've not heard him use before. It sounded like he was angry and afraid, which was never something I will attribute to someone like Moon. And that made me wonder who they were speaking of.“Are you her son?” The man closed the distance between them and tried to place his palm on Moon's cheeks, but Moon held him tight. “How did you know my mother's name? Who are you?” Moon growled.I gasped at his words. Though it has been a long time since Moon told me about his mother, I can still recall the name he told me. “She's my sister.” The man answered with a look of awe on his face. “Who would have thought I will meet the little guy once more.”Moon's grip on the man loosened. He let go of the man's hand. “Do you know where my mother is?” Moon asked in a small voice. He looked desperate to know the answer. The man clapped Moon on the back. “We need to discuss this
